You would never believe that it got so warm today I had to take off my jacket...and it was only a spring jacket. The sun showed its face occasionally, but the skies were mostly cloudy. This morning we even had a thunderstorm, much to Gulliver's dismay. The crackles and booms turn him into a quivering …
Meet Cooper
After the sudden loss last month of their beloved sheepdog Millie, my daughter's family found that it just didn't seem right not to have a dog around the house. After much research and discussion, they found one that seemed right for their family. Two weeks ago Cooper, a Portuguese water dog, moved in and is …

Gotta love those orange legs!
I feel squeezed!

Happily, I am much better pleased with my images. Unhappily, this is something I could have done a …

Easter Monday morning
The day dawned with sunshine and cool temperatures. I dutifully did some post-family-gathering chores around the house, then headed for the park for a photo walk.
